    I laughed so much every time you showed the clip of you whispering: “I also made a full video on that by the way.” !!! 😂 You are a pleasure to watch and these clips where you break down tv scenes are very helpful. I wish you would do some videos all in French! 💕

    i'm watching Zone Blanche for this very reason. i love learning and picking up new French sentences from it. My fav so far are: *Tu sais quelque chose?* meaning "You know something?"
    And *c'est comme ça* means "It's how it is."

      The reverse order is probably the best way. If you just do step #3 for a few weeks you will find you make some progress on #2.

    I love those break downs! After watching the whole series of 10% with French subtitles my understanding of informal spoken French massively improved and your videos help me pay attention to certain details. Only trouble is, now I finished this show, I don't know which one to watch next ^^' what would you recommend? Thanks!

      One thing our instructors had us do was reports from books for eight to twelve year olds. And movies he assigned.
      It was not easy explaining the books and movies to someone in French so that they would want to read the books themselves.

      Mancroft - The drawback about Le Monde is that most of its articles are reserved for subscribers. I prefer the French version of Slate, which has a much clearer layout and is free of charge. It may be too advanced for some, but you might want to give it a try:

    When she said Je vais prendre une coupe s'il vous plait?? Comon, she really said that long sentence and sounded like one sound??? Really does french ear can recognize what she said there?

    • @Chipstouille
      @Chipstouille 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I you don't have an earing disability yes. But, there's noise, music, someone else is speaking at the same time... I guess that's hard to make out if you're not used to speak french in a noisy environment :D
      Let's be honest, french people tends to muffle the begining of their sentences a lot (because it often contains a pronoun and an auxiliary or short verb that are basically useless for the general understanding of the full sentence). So even as a french, I had to listen to it 3 or 4 times to make sure she actually pronounced "j'vais". Because even if she just had said "'prendre un coupe s'il vous plait", we'd still be able to guess the sentence started with "j'vais" :D
      I guess you could call it a vocal mirage at some point... Our brains are probably able to make up for missing start of sentences.

  • @jerrytugable
    @jerrytugable 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Bonjour madame, an excellent lesson. May I politely correct your English pronunciation? '
    A long-winded way..' The letter I is short, and rhymes with the I in bin, gin, pin, sin and tin. You said it wrong, to rhyme with the I in wine, dine, or mine.
    'Long-winded' derives from the second meaning of 'wind', which is 'breath'. For example: If I run too fast up a hill, I will be out of breath.
    Sorry for correcting the teacher, your mistakes are conspicuous because they are rare😛

      @@alexrafe2590 That sounds more Canadian and some northern states, like Minnesota and Maine. However, both DO seem to fit the french “hein”.

    • @Chipstouille
      @Chipstouille 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      But "hein" can also be used on its own as a question. It's a vulgar way of asking someone to repeat, when you don't understand. You can also use it to express surprise. It's more an onomatopeia than a word... but very commonly used. I think much more than huh is in english.

    Merci Géraldine ! Mais, pourquoi on prononce le x en dix pour-cent ?

    • @Chipstouille
      @Chipstouille 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Le X, c'est la pire lettre en français: bdl.oqlf.gouv.qc.ca/bdl/gabarit_bdl.asp?id=2395
      Le pire, c'est que le X de Dix se prononce S quand le mot est seul. Mais sinon, c'est considéré comme un S muet. Donc non prononcé, ou prononcé "Z" si suivit d'un mot qui démarre par une voyelle (par exemple "dix euros" sera prononcé "di.zeu.ro")

    • @deanweldon6873
      @deanweldon6873 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It's a slangy way to say "non". Like in English when we say "nah" instead of "no". Same thing with the "ouais" for "oui". Like in English when we say "yeah" instead of "yes".

  • @dallan7740

    Is the "j'pensais pas" not more like "I didn't think I would" in this context?
    "Tu sais que tu m'as manqué" (I missed you, you know),
    "Ah bon?" (Oh really?)
    "J'pensais pas" (I didn't think I would)
